Ombra Pack Chronicles #4
Eoin's Forbidden Mate
A straight-laced realtor from the big city runs face-first into a graffiti artist werewolf and sparks fly. Then their ambitions and secrets threaten to tear them apart.
Kent
I'm the new boy in this tiny town, but only until I find my clients the lake house they're searching for. Not that I can understand why anyone would want to live here. It seems like a place where nothing ever happens. So imagine my surprise when I stumble across a masked man spray painting a public building under the light of the full moon. Even in a mask, I'm struck by his beauty. Then, without warning, he approaches and does the last thing I ever expected. He kisses me. The moment our lips part, he's gone, vanished into the night and I'm left with a feeling of excitement unlike any I've ever experienced before.
But how do I find him again?
Eoin
The moment I kissed him I knew he was my mate. Even though I don't know his name, I know we were fated to be together, but I ran away before I could act on it. Then, by some strange twist of fate, he walks into my office the next day to hire me. He has no idea that I'm the masked graffiti artist or, more importantly, that I'm a werewolf. But now that he's my client, I have to pretend to be just some boring realtor.
However, when I find him waiting near the half-finished mural again, I can't keep my hands off of him. For now, though, the mask stays on. He's too straight-laced to turn a blind eye to my after-dark activities.
How long can I keep up this charade?
standalone, mistaken/hidden identity, hurt/comfort, class difference, human x werewolf, forbidden love, forced proximity, found family, strict roles, and hea.

TL;DR if you're looking for a romance between two assholes and want to watch them abuse each other, this is your book.
I read this book because I really liked the Author's other books (Shifter Grove books 1 and 2, which I do recommend) and I absolutely loved the description for this book - it's so romantic! Unfortunately, most of the description is misleading or not true. For example, Eoin's description begins with, "The moment I kissed him I knew he was my mate." That's a very interesting statement, because chapter 16 says, "I couldn’t believe it took me so long to realize he was my mate." I've watched a cycle of abuse that is decidedly anything but romantic. They're terrible people, and you can almost think they deserve each other, but I want to draw attention to the opening scene, in which, according to the description, "The moment our lips part, he's gone, vanished into the night..."
This is not AT ALL what happens. In fact, what happens is so long and intense that Eoin describes it as a BDSM SCENE. ONE IN WHICH THERE IS NO CONSENT.
"True, I’d antagonized him, and I fucking loved it. But it felt more like a role I was playing. He was the uptight businessman with a secret, and I was the bad-boy bully taking his control away. It was a scene straight out of a BDSM novel."
This was really upsetting for me, who had been attracted to a really sweet sounding romance. Instead I got this passage, which is absolutely not what I was looking for not what the description stated. From the perspective of Eoin:
“You’re so cock-crazy you can’t even think straight, can you sweetheart? I could sit here and call you every name in the book, and no matter how much you argued, if I let you, you’d service me until the sun came up.” I tilted my head to the side, furrowing my brows. “You got a thing for bad boys or something? Or do you just like being used?” “I… I…” he stammered, his face blushing in the dim lamplight. “I don’t know w-what you’re t-talking about.” He seemed suddenly embarrassed and defensive as his expression shifted to one of anger. “Fuck you!” “Fine,” I said with a click of my tongue. “If you’re gonna be rude about it, I won’t let you have your treat.” I tucked my dick back into my sweatpants with my eyes still fixed on him. A flash of longing and disappointment crossed his features, and I couldn’t help laughing again. Grabbing my backpack, I threw it over one shoulder and took a step forward. My bulge nudged against his lips, and I heard him gasp, but the irritation remained. I had him so worked up and confused that he didn’t know which way was up. And that, above all else, gave me life."
I will not be finishing the book, and I'm begging Mr Blake Wolfe to do better and take the description a little more seriously. I really love some of his other work, but this was actually upsetting for me to read and I wish I'd been properly warned what I was in for so I could avoid it.
BE WARNED. THIS ISNT THE ROMANCE IT CLAIMS TO BE.
Update: I finished the book and there's no apology for the way he treats his mate at their first encounter.

I’ve been lukewarm on the series so far and I’m kind of surprised I read this deep into it before giving up. I just can’t with this book. Both characters are terrible people and I really don’t want to have to deal with either.

🎧 Eoin=Owen is not how I would have said it in my head (if I’d eyeball read this book), a plus to audiobooks ☺️. The want for what’s right and just has been building in the series, this book took it outside the “pack” politics though and discussed marginalized communities being targets of politicians. It wasn’t super political, but the tone was present. The found family continues and the sense of home being a person is honestly my one of my favorite parts of this series (I know were lore says mates).

A great story for the
Eon is an artist and tagger along with a realtor in a small town. Kent a NY Realtor working towards getting a vacation home for a rich NY client in a small town. What he didn't expect is to be challenged by small town and a certain someone to break his walls down. The dynamics and forgiveness is a good message along with standing up for oneself - be true to you! MM romance

This story was alright but I was expecting more. The majority of the story happens in a time span of two weeks, so everything felt kind of rushed.
Kent was alright but I'm not sure what to think of Eoin. He was so different from his alter ego. Although his alter ego was kind of a prick, he at least sounded older and more mature. But when he was his "real self", as Eoin, he came off way too young and somewhat childlike.

This story really got to me!
It's very close to my life, not so much the childhood, but after graduating. Eoin and Kent went through a rough time but made it through together. The good, the bad, and then the HEA! ENJOY!

Solid 4 stars
This is the best book in the series so far, in my opinion. The self conflict Eoin has is very relatable. I found him to be a very intriguing character.

Aunque la novela me ha gustado, hay varias escenas y formas de hablarse y tratarse que no me han gustado y me sacaban de la historia.

Plus j'avance, plus la traduction s'affine donc je peux commencer à faire des avis plus détaillés 👀
Je suis accro à cette série, c'est mon petit plaisir du matin, je ne sais pas trop ce qu'elle a en plus, mais elle me détend, me fait rire, stresser et presque pleurer ! Mais en même temps, c'est hyper cliché avec une bonne dose de sexe ! Bref, j'aime beaucoup ~
Dans ce tome, on retrouve Eoin le cousin de Wyatt, qui s'ennuie dans un travail d'agent immobilier alors qu'il s'éclate la nuit en montrant son art à tous sous forme de graffitis de pénis arc-en-ciel pour dénoncer les actes homophobes du maire. Sauf qu'il se fait surprendre par un homme une nuit, qui va l'attirer et qu'il va mettre à genoux. Cet homme se retrouvera être Kent, son nouveau client, un humain bien pète cul qu'il va détester direct !
Le concept du Clan Ombra c'est un loup avec un humain et tous les problèmes qui vont avec !
Cette fois-ci on a encore plus de secrets avec le fait qu'il soit aussi un artiste masqué la nuit !
Avec ses deux identités, Eoin va plaire à Kent, d'un côté avec le graffeur effronté qui le met à genoux et le force à le sucer comme ça, et de l'autre l'homme doux, presque timide, avec qui il découvre la ville et le fait tomber sous son charme. Heureusement que Kent n'est pas resté un con tout du long et qu'il s'est vite assagi au contact de Eoin. Jusqu'à qu'ils aient plus de problèmes et que Kent découvre le pot au rose !
Encore un super tome avec des mécaniques qui m'ont beaucoup plus !

Por favor, cuiden las traducciones en sus libros. Esta tan mal traducido que algunas escenas carecen de sentido, suenan ridículas y el libro se acaba haciendo infumable. Es una lastima que el autor no le haya dado ninguna importancia a la calidad de su traducción, pero yo me niego a seguir leyendo un libro tan mal escrito. Es una pena porque la historia no está tan mal.
